Chapter 34
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 34 What Was It Like To Be With Jinye
The next day, at the Banya Mount Chateau.
After Shen Mobo had everything arranged, he headed straight to the underground wine cellar, took a
few bottles of good wine and sent them to a row of elegant houses in the yard.
He knocked onto one of the doors.
It was two hours before the banquet officially began.
Xiao Qingqing wore a long burgundy dress. Her long wavy hair was let down, exuding her endless
charm. She glanced at Shen Mobo gently and said, âCome in, Mobo.â
Shen Mobo put the wine on Xiao Qingqingâs wine cabinet and glanced at her, âYouâll have to wait here
for five hours until everything is ready.â
Xiao Qingqing nodded, then glanced at Shen Mobo gratefully, âThank you, there wonât be any
complications, will there?â
âDonât worry, this drug is highly reliable. The hallucinogenic feeling is similar to the one you get from
drinking alcohol as they use the same fermentation method. So even if you went to the hospital for a
test, you will not be able to find out the cause.â
Xiao Qingqing felt more assured of after listening to Shen Moboâs explanation. Once again, she
thanked Shen Mobo.
Shen Moboâs eyes were filled with pity when he glanced at Xiao Qingqing.
Although Xiao Qingqing had debuted as a strip-star back then⦠He knew better than anyone how
strong and innocent this woman was. She picked herself up, one step at the time, from her dark past.
Xiao Qingqing had a past that was too terrible that no words could describe. It was as lowly as hell.
Xiao Qingqingâs stepfather was a gambler, while her mother was a servile woman. She owed debts
which she couldnât afford to pay, so her stepfather decided that theyâd sell Xiao Qingqing.
She was studying arts in college at that time, and a director had offered her a role in an X-rated art film.
Xiao Qingqing disagreed and cursed the director at first. However, on the night when she was about to
be tragically sold by her stepfather, she threatened him with her life and asked if she could be free had
she fork out that sum of money.
Her stepfather agreed. So she called the director, and took suggestive photos of various styles, naked
on her knees before she was deemed qualified from the audition. When the film was completed, two
versions of it were premiered. The censored literary edition made a killing and won an award at the
International Film Festival. At the same time, an internal employee had stolen the original film and
spread the uncensored version. With that, Xiao Qingqing got famous overnight and was titled the
purest porn star.
When Shen Mobo and Lu Jinye met Xiao Qingqing, she was no longer making money from porn.
However, she still carried the porn star title.
When Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing were a couple, he had used various methods to help Xiao Qingqing
clean up her reputation.
To Shen Mobo, no one was purer than Xiao Qingqing.
Shen Mobo did not say anything anymore. He turned around and walked out.
He walked to the front and waited for the arrival of the other guestsâ¦
Mu Zhi wore a casual dress today. Because it was a private gathering, she did not feel restrained.
When she and Lu Jinye arrived at the Banya Mount Chateau, they found out five luxury cars in the
parking lot outside the chateau. All of which were limited editions.
Mu Zhi glanced at the luxury car several times, and Lu Jinye had to stop Mu Zhi from ogling, âIf you like
them, Iâll buy a few and keep them at home.â
Lu Jinye said coldly. Mu Zhi quickly reached out and straddled Lu Jinyeâs hand. She walked in with Lu
Jinye, while questioning with doubt, âHoney, do your friends know that we were married by contract?â
âYes.â
Lu Jinye replied lightly.
âThen⦠If I met your friends today, and then⦠When we divorce, isnât itâ¦â
âDo not worry.â
âDid they marry their wives out of love?â
Just as Mu Zhi blurted this question, she suddenly realized that she was asking a little too much. When
did she become so hesitant? In the past, she would have escorted Lu Jinye to any dinners or fun
events without much questions or opinions.
She was shocked by her own reaction that she quickly took back all of the questions she had. Then,
she continued to walk in with Lu Jinye.
The chateau was composed of a large cluster of villas. There was a large flower pond in the middle of
the lake area. Three men and women were sitting around the pond, frolicking about.
When Mu Zhi arrived with Lu Jinye, those people stood up and greeted Lu Jinye.
A man came over alone from afar. It was Shen Mobo.
Lu Jinye pointed at Shen Mobo and briefly introduced him to Mu Zhi, âThis man is the owner of Banya
Chateau, Shen Mobo. He is the fourth youngest among us brothers.â
âThis is the eldest, Liang Yunzhan.â
âIâm the second eldest.â
âThis is the third youngest, Xu Se.â
âAnd this is the youngest, Wang Yilun.â
âMu Zhi.â
Lu Jinye pointed to Mu Zhi and introduced her to everyone.
Before Mu Zhi could manage to acknowledge them, someone suddenly stood up, scrutinized Mu Zhi
seriously, and exclaimed, âOh, so this is Jinyeâs legendary wife, itâs an honor to meet you at last!â
There seemed to be overtones in his words, although Mu Zhi had no idea what the person was
referring to.
Xu Se also stood up, and placed his hand lightly onto Mu Zhiâs shoulder, âYilun meant that itâs not
peanuts to be able to succeed Jinyeâs heart, even if itâs just for a contract marriage.â
âBecause he is very particular with his women.â
Xu Se added.
These words aroused Mu Zhiâs curiosity, but before she had the time to question further, they were
interrupted by Shen Mobo.
Lu Jinye calmly brushed Xu Seâs hand that was on Mu Zhiâs shoulder aside.
Then, the few of them sat together.
The servant turned up with some fruit platters. After having the main dishes, the guests started to play
games.
Mu Zhi couldnât believe that these people could be best friends with Lu Jinye! They were so festive,
unlike Lu Jinye who was distant!
The eldest, Liang Yunzhan, was more collected, most probably because he was elder. Furthermore, he
had been busy taking care of his pregnant wife.
The forth brother, Shen Mobo⦠Mu Zhi was a little confused about him. He looked cheerful but when
she gazed into his eyes, they seemed depressed and obscure.
After a few rounds of drinking, Xu Se suddenly stood up and suggested, âWe all know that Jinye and
his wife are in a contractual marriage, and this marriage is about to come to an end. So I have specially
planned this game so that the both of you could learn more about each other before your marriage
ends!â
âI shall be the judge. I shall close my eyes, and at the same time, you all shall beat the drums and pass
the flower around. Finally, when I call for a stop, the person with the flower will have to convey a truth,
ok?â
As soon as Xu Se explained this game, everyone unanimously approved of it.
Mu Zhi didnât respond, and neither did Lu Jinye. So everyone assumed this meant a pass for them too!
Unfortunately for Mu Zhi, she was caught on the first round.
Xu Se asked her a very wicked question.
âHow did it feel to be in bed with Jinye for the first time?â
